Mun, Jong-Jeon,Lee, Sang-Wook,Hwang, Soon-Jin,Oh, In-Hye 한국육수학회 2001 생태와 환경 Vol.34 No.4

여러 지역의 호소환경에서 picoplankton이 중요한 일차 생산자로 보고되고 있는데 대청호에서 이를 조사하기 위하여 1998년 9월부터 1999년 9월까지 식물 플랑크톤 크기에 따른 엽록소 농도의 계절적 변화를 조사하였다. 200㎛ 이하의 식물플랑크톤은 대전취수탑에서 0.7∼36.9㎍/ℓ, 만입부에서 0.5∼23.5㎍/ℓ 회남대교에서 1.9∼20.1㎍/ℓ, 대청댐에서 0.5∼17.4㎍/ℓ이었는데, 조사지점 4곳에서 모두 9월에 최대치를 나타내었으며 그 이후는 서서히 감소되어 4∼6월에 최소값을 보이는 경향을 나타내었다. 계절에 따른 엽록소 농도의 크기별 조성비율을 보면, 연중 microplankton과 nanoplankton 조성비율은 큰 변이를 보였는데, 회남 대교를 제외한 조사지역 3 곳에서 6∼10월에는 microplankton의 비율이 높았으나 3월에는 조성비율이 매우 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 조사지역 4곳 모두에서 picoplankton은 연중 2.0∼24.3%로 거의 일정하였다. Since a substantial part of the total planktonic primary production is due to the activity of the picoplankton, seasonal change of chlorophyll a in the picoplankton, nanoplankton and microplankton was determined at four locations in Daechung Reservoir from September in 1998 to September in 1999. Chlorophyll a concentration(<200㎛) was 0.7∼36.9㎍/ℓin TAE(Taejeon site), 0.5∼23.5㎍/ℓin MAN(Man site), 1.9∼20.1㎍/ℓ in HOE(Hoenam site), and 0.5∼17.4㎍/ℓin DAM(Dam site). Generally it was observed the the highest concentration of chlorophyll a was in September and the lowest in April to June. The relative contribution of chlorophyll a of each fraction was changed dramatically through the year. Relative contribution of chlorophyll a of microplankton was high from June to October, and low in March in all locations except HOE. However chlorophyll a concentration of picoplankton fraction was 2.0∼24.3% of total chlorophyll a (<200㎛) through the year and did not show any dramatic changes at all locations.

이주연,장만 한국환경생물학회 2014 환경생물 : 환경생물학회지 Vol.32 No.3

본 연구는 2012년 3월 저수온기 동해연안의 10개 정 점에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조를 세포의 크기에 따라 구분하여 조사하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 총 개체수는 3.4 ×106~7.6×106 cells L-1, 탄소량은 0.08×108~6.3×108 pg L-1로 나타났다. 개체수를 기반으로 생물량을 보았을 때, 극미소플랑크톤의 비율이 미세∙미소 플랑크톤보다 높았다. 그러나 탄소량을 기반으로 하는 생물량을 보았 을 때, 극미소플랑크톤은 세포 크기가 작아 기여도가 미 미하였고, Coscinodiscus속과 같이 크기가 큰 종들은 기 여도가 높았다. 이와 같이 식물플랑크톤의 생물량을 정 확하게 파악하기 위해서는 다양한 관점으로 여러 항목 을 조사할 필요성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 식물플랑크 톤의 군집 구조를 확인한 결과, 총 10개 정점 중에 8 정 점에서 극미소플랑크톤이 우점하였다. 또한 8개 정점에 서 미소플랑크톤의 개체수가 미세플랑크톤보다 높은 비 율을 나타냈다. 미세∙미소플랑크톤 중에서는 규조류의 비율이 95% 이상이었다. 극미소플랑크톤의 군집구조를 살펴보면, 5가지의 형태학적 특성이 다른 군집이 확인되 었으며, 7개 정점에서 S type이 가장 우점한 것으로 나 타났다. 본 연구를 통해 확인된 극미소플랑크톤이 차지 하는 생태학적 기여도가 커 이들에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 수행되어야 하며, 이를 위하여 그들의 분류학적 체계 구 축과 생리학적 특성 연구가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단 된다. 이와 같은 연구를 기반으로 향후, 변화하고 있는 동해연안에서 생물 군집 변화 현상을 규명할 수 있을 것이다. In order to understand the phytoplankton community structure based on their cell size duringlow water temperature periods, we studied 10 stations in the East Sea, Korea on March, 2012. The minimum standing crops of total phytoplankton were 3.4×106 cells L-1 at the station 5. The maximum values were 7.6×106 cells L-1 at the station 8, which is two times the amount of the minimum. The carbon mass at the station 4 (6.3×108 pg L-1) was more than forty times higher compared with station 5 (0.08×108 pg L-1). From these results, we found a significant difference between standing crops and carbon mass which might have caused due to their differences in community structure and cell size. Therefore, we considered the types of plankton biomass to estimate the primary product in the specific location and/or time. The phytoplankton communities were classified in 3 types: microplankton (¤20 μm), nanoplankton (⁄20 μm) and picoplankton (⁄2 μm). In the case of picoplankton, various morphological types were observed during the study period. These various picoplankton species were further classified as S (spherical), SF (spherical&flagella), O (oval), OF (oval&flagella) or R (rod) type, and we analyzed their community structure based on these categories. The picoplankton was found to be the most dominant type at 8 stations and S type as the most popular. The picoplankton seems to be the significant organism in the marine ecology during low water temperature periods in the coastal waters of East Sea. Therefore, picoplankton with scientific surveys can be considered as the database for their identification. In conclusion, we suggest that cell size of the phytoplankton would be the best criteria to accurately analyze their community structure and to reveal groups having more ecological influence.

제주 중문연안역의 초미세, 미소, 소형플랑크톤 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간적 분포

신범,이준백,Shynn, Bumm,Lee, Joon-Baek 한국해양학회 2002 바다 Vol.7 No.2

제주도 중문 연안역의 각 크기별 플랑크톤을 영양형에 따라 구분하여 세포수, 탄소량, 엽록소량의 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간 분포 그리고 환경요인간의 상관관계를 1999년 7월부터 2000년 6월까지 조사하였다. 종속영양성 초미세플랑크톤(HPP) 세포수의 연평균은 외해에서 1.4${\times}$$10^{6}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$, 해안에서 8.3${\times}$$10^{5}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$을 보였고, 독립영양성 초미세플랑크톤(APP)도 외해에서 9.9${\times}$$10^{4}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$, 해안에서 7.1${\times}$$10^{4}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$을 보여 외해에서 더 많은 분포를 보였으며 우리나라 다른 해역에 비해서도 많았다. 그러나 종속 및 독립영양성 미소플랑크톤(HNP, ANP)은 해안이 외해보다 더 많은 세포수 분포를 보였다. 소형플랑크톤(AMP) 세포수는 해안에서는 규조류의 변동(r=0.962, P${\le}$0.001), 외해에서 와편모조류의 변동 (r=0.868, P${\le}$0.001)에 의해 영향을 받고 있었다. 그러나 영양형과 크기별 구분에 의한 각 그룹간 상관관계에서 포식자와 피식자의 상관성은 보이지 않았다. 탄소량의 공간적인 분포는 세포수와 같았으나 크기별 비율은 전혀 달라 독립영양성 미소플랑크톤(ANP) 탄소량이 가장 높은 비율을 보였다. 크기군에 따라 엽록소량의 계절변동은 달랐으며 초미세플랑크톤(APP)은 2000년 3월에 0.42 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(57.9%)로 가장 높은 비율을 보였고, 미소플랑크톤(ANP)은 2000년 5월에 1.42 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(74.7%)로 가장 높았으며 소형플랑크톤(AMP)은 1999년 7월에 1.51 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(81.8%)로 가장 높았다. 생물인자와 환경요인의 상관성을 주성분 분석에 의한 요인을 추출한 결과 인,규소 증가와 자가영양성 미소플랑크톤(ANP)증가에 미치는 요인이 해안과 외해에서 동일하게 가장 큰 설명력을 보였다. N:P 비도 해안에서 36.4, 외해에서 32.6을 보이고 있어 인이 상당히 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 조사해역은 인이 식물플랑크톤 성장에 중요한 제한요인으로 작용하고 있다고 판단된다. Abundance, carbon biomass and chlorophyll a concentration of each size-fractionated plankton on the basis of trophical level were investigated in terms of spacial and temporal distribution, and interactions between each biological parameter and environmental factors in Jungmun coastal waters of Jeju Island from July 1999 to June 2000. Heterotrophic picoplankton (HPP) abundance averaged 1.4${\times}$$10^{6}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$ at of offshore and 8.3${\times}$$10^{5}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$ at inshore, while autotrophic picoplankton (APP) abundance 9.9${\times}$$10^{4}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$ at of offshore and 7.1${\times}$$10^{4}$ cells ${\cdot}$ $ml^{-1}$ at inshore. They were more abundant at of offshore than at inshore, and also more abundant than the other areas of Korean waters. On the other hand, heterotrophic and autotrophic nanoplankton (HNP, ANP) were more abundant at inshore than at of offshore. Microplankton (AMP) abundance was affected by diatom (r=0.962, P${\le}$0.001) at inshore and by dinoflagellate (r=0.868, P${\le}$0.001) at of offshore. However correlations between each plankton group in terms of size and trophic level were not significant. Carbon biomass showed as same as the distribution pattern of abundance, but composition percentage of each biomass of plankton group were quite different from that of abundance, representing the highest percentage in ANP. Seasonal fluctuation of chlorophyll a were different according to size class, showing the highest with 0.42 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(57.9%) of APP in March 2000, 1.42 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(74.7%) of ANP in May 2000, and 1.51 ${\mu}g$CHl-${\alpha}$${\cdot}$$1^{-1}$(81.8%) of AMP in July 1999. Correlation between biological parameters and environmental factors by principle component analysis revealed that the first factor as main explanation is the increasing of phosphorus and silica and the increasing of the at both of offshore and inshore. The N:P ratio were 36.4 at inshore and 32.6 at of offshore, showing the lack of phosphorus. Thus we suggest that phosphorus might be a main limiting factor to affect phytoplankton community in the study area.

Composition and Distribution of Phytoplankton with Size Fraction Results at Southwestern East/Japan Sea

Park, Mi-Ok The Korean Society of Oceanography 2006 Ocean science journal Vol.41 No.4

Abundance and distribution of phytoplankton in seawater at southwestern East/Japan Sea near Gampo were investigated by HPLC analysis of photosynthetic pigments during summer of 1999. Detected photosynthetic pigments were chlorophyll a, b, $c_{1+2}$ (Chl a, Chl b, Chl $c_{1+2}$), fucoxanthin (Fuco), prasinoxanthin (Pras), zeaxanthin (Zea), 19'-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin (But-fuco) and beta-carotene (B-Car). Major carotenoid was fucoxanthin (bacillariophyte) and minor carotenoids were Pras (prasinophyte), Zea (cyanophyte) and But-fuco (chrysophyte). Chl a concentrations were in the range of $0.16-8.3\;{\mu}g/land$ subsurface chlorophyll maxima were observed at 0-10m at inshore and 30-50 m at offshore. Thermocline and nutricline tilted to the offshore direction showed a mild upwelling condition. Results from size-fraction showed that contribution from nano+picoplankton at Chl a maximum layer was increased from 18% at inshore to 69% at offshore on average. The maximum contribution from nano+picoplankton was found as 87% at St. E4. It was noteworthy that contribution from nano+picoplanktonic crysophytes and green algae to total biomass of phytoplankton was significant at offshore. Satellite images of sea surface temperature indicated that an extensive area of the East/Japan Sea showed lower temperature ($<18\;^{\circ}C$) but the enhanced Chi a patch was confined to a narrow coastal region in summer, 1999. Exceptionally high flux of low saline water from the Korea/Tsushima Strait seemed to make upwelling weak in summer of 1999 in the study area. Results of comparisons among Chi a from SeaWiFS, HPLC and fluorometric analysis showed that presence of Chi b cause underestimation of Chi a about 30% by fluorometric analysis but overestimation by satellite data about 30-75% compared to HPLC data.

Spatial distribution of phytoplankton in Gamak Bay in spring, with emphasis on small phytoplankton

오영지,강윤자 한국환경생물학회 2022 환경생물 : 환경생물학회지 Vol.40 No.4

Phytoplankton communities, with emphasis on picoplankton and nano[1]plankton, were investigated in Gamak Bay, South Korea, where freshwater input and coastal water intrusion shape ecosystem functions. Shellfish farms and fish farms are located in the inner bay and outer bay, respectively, and tides translocate uneaten food and urine production from aquaculture farms toward the inner bay. Water masses were distinctly different based on a significantly different density between the surface and bottom layer and among three water masses, including the inner bay, outer bay, and Yeosu Harbor. Phytoplankton communities were quantified using flow cytometry and size-fractionated chlorophyll-a (chl-a) was measured. Salinity was a principal variable separating phytoplankton communities between the surface and bottom layer, whereas Si(OH)4 controlled the communities in the inner bay, and NH4 + and PO4 3- governed the outer bay communities. While phycocyanin-containing (PC) cyanobacteria dominated in the outer bay, phycoerythrin-containing (PE) cyanobacteria dominance occurred with cryptophyte dominance, indicating that nutrients affected the distribution of pico- and nanoplankton and that cryptophytes potentially relied on a mixotrophic mode by feeding on PE cyanobacteria. Interestingly, picoeukaryotes and eukaryotes larger than 10 μm were mostly responsible for the ecological niche in the western region of the bay. Given that chl-a levels have historically declined, our study highlights the potential importance of increased small phytoplankton in Gamak Bay. Particularly, we urge an examination of the ecological role of small phytoplankton in the food supply of cultivated marine organisms.

Stratified Distribution of Nutrients and Extremophile Biota within Freshwater Ice Covering the Surface of Lake Baikal

Nina A. Bondarenko,Olga I. Belykh,Ludmila P. Golobokova,Olga V. Artemyeva,Natalia F. Logacheva,Irina V. Tikhonova,Irina A. Lipko,Tatyana Ya. Kostornova,Valentina V. Parfenova,Tamara V. Khodzher,안태석,조영 한국미생물학회 2012 The journal of microbiology Vol.50 No.1

Biological entities and gradients of selected chemicals within the seemingly barren ice layers covering Lake Baikal were investigated. Ice cores 40–68 cm long were obtained from inshore and offshore sites of Southern Lake Baikal during the cold period of a year (March-April) in 2007 and 2008. In microscopic observations of the melted ice, both algae and bacteria were found in considerable numbers (>103 cells/L and >104 cells/ml, respectively). Among all organisms found, diatom was generally the most predominant taxon in the ice. Interestingly, both planktonic and benthic algae were present in considerable numbers (2–4×104 cells/L). Dominant phototrophic picoplankton were comprised of small green algae of various taxa and cyanobacteria of Synechococcus and Cyanobium. The bacterial community consisted mostly of short rod and cocci cells, either freeliving or aggregated. Large numbers of yeast-like cells and actinomycete mycelium were also observed. Concentrations of silica, phosphorus, and nitrate were low by an order of magnitude where biota was abundant. The profile of the ice could be interpreted as vertical stratification of nutrients and biomass due to biological activities. Therefore, the organisms in the ice were regarded to maintain high activity while thriving under freezing conditions. Based on the results, it was concluded that the freshwater ice covering the surface of Lake Baikal is considerably populated by extremophilic microorganisms that actively metabolize and form a detritus food chain in the unique large freshwater ecosystem of Lake Baikal.

강연식,Kang, Yeon-Shik 한국조류학회(藻類) 2008 ALGAE Vol.23 No.1

This study analyzes characteristics of phytoplankton communities around Wolseong nuclear power plant by selecting 16 stations from July 2006 to June 2007 and understands the influences on standing crops and chlorophyll a of phytoplankton by passing through the cooling water system. The total species number is 283, among which diatoms is 208 occupying 73.5% of total taxa. The mean of total standing crops is 469,380-3,704,114 cells L-1. It is the highest in April 2007 because blooming of Chaetoceros socialis occurs during this period. The mean standing crops of microplankton and nanoplankton are average 129,666-3,392,640 cells L-1 and 240,943-650,505 cells L-1 respectively, which occupy 54.01% and 46.54% of total standing crops. The mean concentrations of total chlorophyll a is 0.64-5.39 μg L-1. The mean concentrations of chlorophyll a of microplankton, nanoplankton and picoplankton are 1.33 μg L-1, 0.21 μg L-1 and 0.49 μg L-1 respectively. Dominant species around Wolseong neclear power plant during this study are Chaetoceros debilis, Chaetoceros socialis, Leptocylindrus danicus, Pseudo-nitzschia fraudulenta, P. subfraudulenta and Thalassiosira decipiens. Fluctuation rates of standing crops and chlorophyll a concentrations of phytoplankton passing through the cooling water system are 22.80% and 50.48% respectively. Decrease of standing crops and chlorophyll a concentrations of phytoplankton means that community structure of phytoplnakton may change at the discharge areas.
